I apologize for being redundant. At least I didn't put the definition in the comments in a most condescending manner. I knew exactly what you meant. My previous comment was just men being a smart-ass.

The Carter Magfence II has been around for a long time, and together with the FAST system are phenomenal for fast setup. Taytools offerings are generally great, but there’s really no competition here. Plus, sitting through Alex Snodgrass demoing Carter products taught me more about the the bandsaw then everything else put together.

Thanks for your informative video on these tools. I am always impressed by your demonstrations and tool picks. Great choices! 😎👍

Bought both sets of those router gauges, hope they solve my issues regarding accuracy! Thanks James.

What kind of faith must I have that the moment I happen upon your latest vid, you get a thumbs up? Never been disappointed. Looking forward to a couple of these joining my shop. One correction at 1:49 - I do believe you mean the magnets will stick to any ferrous (iron) vs. non-ferrous (ex: aluminum) surface.

Great video. As a result I purchased the digital EZ-Check Gauge. VERY handy for detailed router work for sure.

Thanks for the reviews. Definitely adding a few new tools to my Arsenal

Great job on the video, wish I was younger and still needed some of the tools you showed. I think I would have used the EZ-Check digital gauge the most.

Digital anytime James. Cheers John

Just got my EZ-Check height gauge. Great product, great quality, at a great value.

Love the digital readout gauge. I currently don't have a good precise way of setting router table depth. Think I'll pick one of these up.

Always great stuff, well explained. Thank you very much!

As always, I enjoy your videos! Thank You!

Great stuff. Thanks for showing us.

I love my Centipedes, I've got two. One of them has again become a semi-permanent table, and the larger is the only way to break down large sheets in a small shop.

I had already been considering buying the magnetic bandsaw fence, now I am going forward and buying it. I'll use your link. I hope they give you some for that. You made my decision final.

Wow its really amazing tools! Thank you and more power.

Thanks for sharing with us James, some great looking and working tools you showed today. Stay safe and have a great 4th of July Celebration. Fred

Each time one of these pop out I say oh oh there's trouble coming 😅 no seriously cool tools videos broke my bank account but they significantly improved my daily work and it was a good investment. Thank you James 💗

Just ordered the digital gauge. Looks like a winner.

I have the 6 and 12 inch combination squares from iGaging and am in love. They're very high quality and very affordable. I paid something like sixty dollars for the set. That's half the price of the 12 inch Starrett. Really great tools, they even come in a nice case.

Hey thank you for all your information i watch your channel and all of your woodworking shows. I really enjoy all the small American companies that produce such quality tools which until i ran into you did not know. So i thank you for all you do.

I really like the retractable vacuum hose., I do allot of residential renovations and remodels and always use a vacuum for and after cleaning debris for or from my power tools. The shop vac hose happens to be always on the way within the space between tools, materials, and or kitchen cabinets or hallways. Great idea I’m implementing it on my tool arsenal.. as always thanx for sharing your knowledge and videos. God Bless 🙏

I like the analog iGaging the best. I use 'setup blocks' to set it, then use it to set router bit or saw blade depth.

The digital gage by far. I used the digital ever since they came available in machine shop work. can't beat them.

I have switched to digital gauges as my eyes have aged. Doesn't solve all problems like forgetting to taper the top of a riser (wife spotted it before assembly went too far).

Love your work 👍

I appreciate your reviews, I put great trust in you thanks for all you do, from a fellow Michigander

That magnetic digital gauge can also be used when turning a flywheel on import cars such as toyota, honda, fiat, etc.... Many of them have a step on the face of the flywheel and that can be used to maintain the correct height while machining both surfaces. I still have my old one which has just a dial indicator on it.

My Bora Centipede is awesome. It is the perfect table when I need more room. The Milescraft SandPlane is excellent for sanding molding.

YAY! Another Kool teuls vid. Always enjoy them, and usually buy at least one. This time it's the analog router gauge and the vac hose. But I always appreciate hearing about new stuff, never know when a need will arise. Thanks for another happy time! Btw My ranking of router gauges. Digital scores 9 points for features and versatility. Analog scores 7 points... Plus 1,000 points for "no batteries", so 9 vs 1,007. (1:50 "hold on any nonferrous surface" He meant ferrous surface)

Great products.

I took a look at the two gauges and think I'd be more likely to use the digital one. However, given their very affordable prices, I'll get each. There might be times where I want the analog, especially as I come out of winter and I find the digital needs a battery before I can use it. I've also ordered the SandPlane. Anything that can make sanding an easier job is worth it.

Home run. Great vid

I'm usually not a fan of Milescraft but I came across that sanding plane in a Menards store as well. I've had it for about 2 years now. It was 7.99 and worth every penny. Great video man.

I can't tell you how many times I've looked at that Milescraft sander but wasn't sure I would like it so I didn't buy it. I'm glad to hear it works well and is worth having around. I'll grab one the next time I'm in Menards. Thanks for the great videos!!

I have both, but only use the digital EZ gage. Partly for the magnets and because it compensates for eyesight issues.

I watched you videos with great interest, always learn something specially when a 73 year old rookie watches your videos and trust your judgment. Have ever did a video on mail guns, hammers and nails. Thank you for your tool videos👍

ooh, that digital router gauge looks nice.. thanks James!

Good information thanks 👍

In my area, Columbia, SC, Home Depot is the best for power tools. Their price is often the best too. I love the diablo blades . None of the big box stores stock a good selection of router bits. Mann Tools is the best woodworking store.

Bandsaw fence is bookmarked! Next paycheck :)

I prefer the EZ check digital gauge as it could be used to set a table saw as you mentioned. In fact it was already on my list of tools to buy before I saw this video

@1:45 non ferrous? I think you meant to say 'ferrous' James. A, analogue height gauge for saw and router makes a nice little shop project. Adhesive scale tapes are cheap as chips and available at most DIY stores. I had some 30mm X 3mm aluminium in my metal stock pile when I made mine, but hard wood would work. I have a lot of Chinesium tools including a digital height gauge for router and saw height setting, and a digital tire tread gauge that I have modified with a magnetic base for plane iron setting. They cost next to nothing from Bangood, and I use them constantly. I had intended to use my Bosch 1600CE table mounted using the fixed base, but it was not working well, so when the 240V Triton came back in stock I swapped it out and the Bosch now lives in its plunge base. It is now one of my favourite tool, and I especially love its fence micro adjust which is calibrated with Imperial and metric scales, and is dead on accurate.

I have nothing to say really, but I appreciate your content, and wish to help with the yt-algorithms.

Thanks mate 👍🇦🇺

G'day James, fantastic selections there mate. I especially dig that sanding block and really like the idea of the fence on a pedestal drill table. I will say; I do not tolerate measuring tools, including verniers and others, that require batteries, nuff said. Cheers Duke.

Although not the same tool, I bought 2 sets of aluminum space/gauge blocks that come in a set of 10. They make things sooooo much easier that require certain spacing - mainly fence to blade spacing and setting the reveal on a door jamb.

I just picked up a used bandsaw and drill press. I’ve been thinking about fences for both. Maybe the mag fence will work for both. 🤔 Thanks.

I love tools and I really enjoy watching your show, you have been very informative. It would really be neat to either visit your shop some day , I can bring you some fresh milled up eastern red cedar.

I like digital gauges for my router table, as difference of a 1/100th of a mm can be big difference for repeatability as you called out. I’d never not have one.

These are good

I prefer the EZ-Check Digital Gauge. I already have something similar that works well.

Harvey T-40 Lathe. Per Stump's advice, I just bought this lathe a few weeks ago and haven't used it yet. Turns out it is a 220v so I need to update my electrical outlet before I can use it. He never mentioned this and since my 2 prior lathes only used 110 outlets, I never once thought to research this before buying. Don't get me wrong, I still would have bought it......just thought I might let you all know this fact that was overlooked.

I have a few dozen wood working subscriptions.....always come back to Stumpy (Trust his knowledge )

Your quite right you have to use your eyes to read off the analog gauge and get your head down to the right height like I have to with my 10/10 powder scale But as the saying goes sometimes simple is better Great show by the way 👍

Great sanding block in the end. However, 9$ in the US, over 21$ in Germany. Thanks Amaz...

You always have great videos. Pretty sure I've seen them all. I'm a Canadian fan as is my son. The first tool I tried to order is the Milescraft sand plane. Amazon won't ship it to Canada. I don't get it but amazon Canada doesn't sell it. What a bummer. Thanks for all the great videos.

Harvey used to build tools for other companies I think. I look for the opportunity to buy a lathe also.

There’s a few tools there that I didn’t know even existed so thanks

Pretty interesting tools indeed, James! Thanks! 😃 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

You could also use some loctite on the screw of the fence. This screw ain't going nowhere with some Loctite 2700.

Analog gauge! I've bought tons of the digital gauges. Every time I reach for one, the battery is dead. The coin cells these things use are expensive and don't last long. You can't just buy them by the dozen. I've gotten rid of every digital gauge I have, including calipers. Dial calipers are far better, too.

I forgot that I have one of iGauging's older digital gauge. It's battery is always dead when I go to use it, just like any Wixey widget I've bought over the years. I have a very nice Wixey fence gauge on my table saw. I'd use it all the time if it wasn't always dead. I bought a Woodpecker's analog gauge to replace it.

Analog all the way. I had some digital tools, and it seemed every time I picked them up the batteries were always dead. And those pill batteries aren’t cheap for their size… My analog gauges, etc may have less functions, but are always ready for me.

For only a $10 difference in the fence gauges I would take the digital. With my old eyes the digital gauge seems easier to read.

James, have you looked at the JessEm 07305 Tool Setting Gage for Table Saw Router Table Drill Press Banddaw? How would this compare to the two iGaging setting gages that you showed? Although I would probably select the digital gage from iGaging.

I'm wondering can that digital gauge be used when setting jointer knives?

A german woodworking youtuber, goes by jonas winkler, always recommends a mechanical pencil called "Zebra Delguard". since mechanical pencils break so easy, that pencil basically has a metal sheathing around the mine, that extends as soon as you apply too much pressure, stopping it from breaking. i got one myself and they are pretty neat. would recommend :)

At most office supply stores, you can also get a "Draftsman's Pencil" which is mechanical and simply has a thicker lead... It takes a little getting used to, since you hold the end bit down to loosen the grip of the barrel on the lead and adjust the "length" with a finger tip, releasing to let it clamp down... AND with thicker lead, there are times some fine sand paper is useful to bring it to a precision point... BUT for the obnoxious markings to break down or for stuff like framing and "rough cuts" it's a reasonable alternative to a carpentry crayon that you don't really need to carry about for anything else... Just a thought. ;o)
